Sue Cook always said she’d be my first customer at my launch.
2013 was a life-changing year for me; two books published, one shortlisted for the International Rubery Award and awarded quality marks for self-published work (B.R.A.G. MedallionTM and Awesome Indie), conferences, London Book Fair, radio interviews, fantastic launch events (March and November), invitations to speak and appear on countless blogs, writing (paying!) articles and a raft of clever, authoritative and encouraging reviews for my books.
At Pembury Library in March
But I’ve connected with great colleagues, book lovers, fellow writers – all delightful – and it’s the people who make it so rewarding.
Sure, it’s been hard work, but we’ve had fun. Here are a few glimpses…
